9 Four Characteristics of Companies in Trouble Pressure to maintain numbers goals and performance Fear and silence Youth and inexperience of the management team A culture of social responsibility (Jennings, Internal Auditor, 2003)
10 Corporate Purpose: Shareholder Value and Stakeholder Theory Our assumptions of corporate purpose determine what socially responsible behavior is
11 Corporate Purpose Our views on corporate purpose p set the foundation of modern financial theory and reflect the fundamental assumptions of modern economic theory Finance and accounting as language theory of social constructionism
12 Corporate Purpose The purpose p of the firm is to maximize shareholder value (shareholder value theory) This is one of the most important and topical issues of the day because of the influence of business on society and increasing demands of society on business
13 Shareholder Value Theory The language g and relationship of shareholder value is systematically embedded in business schools Primary theory of MBA finance texts Stock price maximization is the most Stock price maximization is the most important goal of the firm. (Brigham et al., 1999)
14 Theory and Practice of CSR Corporate social responsibility, stakeholder theory and firm performance are interrelated issues. (Harrison & Freeman, 1999) Stakeholder theory has emerged g as the dominant paradigm of corporate social responsibility. (McWilliams & Siegel, 2001) Intended antithesis of shareholder value maximization as purpose of the firm
15 Theory Purpose of Firm Stakeholder Theory To commercially serve broader societal interests no priority of one set of interests and benefits over another. (Donaldson & Preston, 1995) Shareholderh Theory To maximize shareholder wealth the interest of shareholders remains second to none. (Levitt, 2000)
16 Theory Dimensions Stakeholder Shareholderh Model Model Definition of CSR Corporate Behavior Marketplace Role Government Role Management Role Investment Capital
17 Manaus Case Study Based on a real story from a local company The details have been significantly modified for learning purposes

20 Manaus Case Study - Background You have been asked your professional perspective on a potential ti business venture. An international ti investment company is considering an investment into Brazil. Proposal: Build an automotive manufacturing plant in Manaus Local joint venture Production to serve only the Brazilian market Due to local government incentives, alternative seen as most beneficial way to enter Brazil lowest investment, highest margin alternative.
21 Manaus Case Assumptions (hypothetical) ti No import taxes compared with high tariffs for other market entry alternatives. No air, ground or water pollution constraints for at least first ten years. No enforceable safety standards or consequences for workforce and consumers injuries. Enforced policy of discrimination women are allowed to do only the jobs not appropriate for men such as the tedious work of installing the wire in the wiring harnesses by hand. There work areas must be segregated from the men s areas.
22
23 Manaus Case Study- Dialogue With no constraints on pollution, the engineering g experts calculate a significantly higher ROI if the new plant ignores environmental considerations. Should the company take advantage of the local Should the company take advantage of the local regulations? What are some points to consider?
24 Manaus Case Study- Dialogue While the government directs a policy of discrimination towards a certain class, HR experts calculate no financial impact to do so. Should this have an effect on decision making? Should this be a deal breaker? Should Consider Environment and/or HR? Should Consider Environment and/or HR? YES NO
25 Case Review In this brief case, we have considered the impact on several stakeholders of the venture: consumers, the local community, employees, and the environment. We concluded d that t business is not concerned merely with profit, but it also takes seriously its responsibilities for avoiding pollution, avoiding discrimination, providing fair employment and ensuring employee and consumer safety. We concluded that a business does have a social responsibility. Continue 25
26 Case Review In this brief case, we have considered the impact on several stakeholders of the venture: consumers, the local community, employees, and the environment. We concluded d that t business is concerned merely with profit; it has no responsibility for avoiding pollution, avoiding discrimination, providing fair employment and ensuring employee and consumer safety. We concluded that a business does not have a social responsibility. 26

34 Carroll s Four R s Discussion Background academic response in opposition to Friedman justifying stakeholder theory 34
35 Shareholder Value and Economic Theory Business has no social responsibilities. Business has no responsibility for providing employment, e eliminating discrimination, avoiding pollution, ensuring consumer safety or any other popular misconceptions regarding corporate social responsibility. Business is concerned merely with making a profit. Milton Friedman
36 Shareholder Value and Economic Theory When I hear about about the social responsibilities of business that business is not concerned "merely" with profit but also with promoting desirable "social" ends; that business has a "social conscience" and takes seriously its responsibilities for providing employment, eliminating discrimination, avoiding pollution and whatever else may be the catchwords of reformers they are unwitting puppets of the intellectual forces that undermine the basis of a free society. (Friedman, 1970)
37 Return to Manaus Case Review We concluded earlier that: Should Consider Environment and dhr? YES Should Consider Environment and HR? NO 37
38 Carroll s Four R s Discussion What does this model imply? py Responsibilities of Business Social Responsibilities Economic Legal Ethical (Must Do) (Have to Do) (Should Do) Discre- tionary (Might Do) What are the consequences of optional ethical behavior? 38
